>   * I think we need to meet somewhere with you all on

>   to know each other a bit better and just get in sync
>   of what we need to do. I and Göran Lange will be
>   arriving to San José on Sunday March 19. About
>   16.00 I'd guess.
>    
>   We'll be staying at the following hotel, I have no
>   idea how close to the conference it is, it was just
>   cheap enough :)

>   - for the sponsoring, I can offer my company to

>   * the t-shirt

>   * a password protected wiki

these are mediocre times and people are 
losing hope. it's hard for many people 
to believe that there are extraordinary 
things inside themselves, as well as 
others. i hope you can keep an open 
mind.
